The new Achieve Scholarship program is designed to address two critical barriers to college attendance: lack of academic preparation and financial access. High school graduates who complete any one of four sets of courses defined as rigorous earn a one-time scholarship of $1,200 to help pay for college at a public or private university or college. The Achieve scholarship, which was proposed by Governor Tim Pawlenty in January 2007 and signed into law in May, is available to students who graduate after January 1, 2008. To be eligible, a student must:

  • Have a parental adjusted gross income of less than $75,000 reported on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the academic year during which the scholarship is requested (this limit also applies to the adjusted gross income reported for independent students)
  • Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
  • Meet the definition of Minnesota resident used for state financial aid programs
  • Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
  • Attend an eligible public or private postsecondary institution in Minnesota.
  • Apply for the scholarship no later than 30 days after the term starts
  • Successfully complete the first term of college enrollment in order to receive the second $600 installment of the Achieve Scholarship
  • Complete one of the four sets of rigorous programs of study while in high school or in a home-school setting described below
